<h1>Eclipse Callisto Discovery Site</h1>
<img src="callisto_slice.jpg">

<h2>Using Callisto Discovery Site</h2>
<p>The Callisto Discovery Site allows you to install any of the projects
  included in the Callisto Release from a single location. Instead of
  downloading each project individually and then installing them into
  your workspace, the Callisto Discovery Site simplifies the process.</p>

<div class="homeitem3col">
  <h3>Instructions</h3>

  <p>To access the Callisto Discovery site:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>First download either the <a
      href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/index.html">Eclipse
        SDK</a> or the <a
      href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2-200606291905/callisto.php">Eclipse
        Platform Runtime Binaries</a>.
    </li>
    <li>You then need to use the update manager to load Callisto
      projects. See <a
      href="http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-34.htm">Eclipse
        Help</a> for general information about using Update Manager. You
      can also view a <a
      href="http://www.eclipse.org/evangelism/demos/install-callisto/install-callisto.html">screencam
        demonstration</a> of using the Callisto Discovery Site.
    </li>
    <li>For most distributions of Eclipse, there should already be a
      &quot;Callisto Discovery Site&quot; defined in its Update Manager.
      If you do not see it you can try adding the following URL as a
      remote update site in your update manager.
      http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases/</li>
    <li>Alternatively, if you would like to view the list or projects by
      their Eclipse Project (PMC) organization, you can define a new
      remote update site, and specify a site-byProject.xml file. In
      other words,
      http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases/site-byProject.xml</li>
  </ul>
  </p>

  <h3>Tips</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>To lessen download time (by installing the minimum number of
      features), first select the desired feature in the Eclipse update
      install dialog, then use the &quot;Select Required&quot; button to
      select only the minimum required prerequisite features.

    <li>Any time you get a chance, export your bookmark files from the
      &quot;Add a Site&quot; dialog. Having them saved away in a safe
      place makes it much easier to re-create another development
      environment.

    <li>Since the workbench will have to shutdown and restart you can
      you do the upgrade and installs with an empty workspace and once
      satisfied all is well, then use the -data option on the Eclipse
      command line (or shortcut) to point to your workspace of interest.


    <li>Both before and after installing &quot;new&quot; features, you
      may want to use update manager to &quot;Check for updates to
      currently installed features&quot;. In some cases, just installing
      a feature will not necessarily upgrade all of its prerequisites to
      the highest available level.

  </ul>

  <h3>Example of Update Dialog</h3>
  Here is an example screen shot highlighting. The example is from
  having started with just the Eclipse Platform Feature installed. <br />
